About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean works with people facing midlife change, stress and relationship strains. She speaks English and Romanian and brings six years of counselling experience to each session. Elisabeta is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she frames work around what the client wants to change.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She uses person-centred ideas to follow what matters most to the client, and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Sessions often involve plain-language discussion, gentle exercises and practical steps to try between meetings.

Elisabeta helps people deal with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, addictions, intimacy difficulties, self-esteem and career stress. She also supports people working through family patterns, abandonment wounds, communication problems and life transitions such as separation or changes in caregiving roles.

She works with LGBT clients and with people managing the emotional effects of aging, caregiving stress, or body image and attachment issues. People can expect a calm, attentive presence that encourages reflection and small, achievable changes.

Elisabeta accepts clients internationally and asks people to use the Start Therapy button to begin. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Elisabeta uses therapeutic approaches online

Elisabeta often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with big life changes. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy ideas, which focus on listening, empathy and creating a space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a quieter routine before or after work. It also lets people try short check-ins or longer sessions depending on what helps most, with practical exercises and mindfulness practices that can be used between meetings.
